If a good player high in the theme of competition great, put them up against another player in a competitive drill and let them shine. Before a match make sure that high competition player knows how they can individually ‘win’ during the match. The flip-side is also very true, another player low in the theme of competition? They might be offended if we put them up against another player and tell them to ‘beat’ that other player.

Knowing how players are wired helps coaches know how to push their buttons and manage them in a positive way. Everyone will appreciate the coaches and players.

Working with the team at, whether they knew it or not, they were a lab for me – what would work with strengths and teams in the athletic world, what would not. The best part about having a lab was we tried lots of ways of improving team chemistry and cohesion.

We definitely recall our setter being strong in the theme of self-assurance – she cherished compliments but did not need them to function. Our coach who was high in positivity and woo loved getting complimented and giving compliments. Two successful players motivated very differently based on their strengths.
